Re: Exclusion in Regex not working

So I'm using ereg(pattern, input) to see if the pattern matches or not. SO for exclusion I build the following pattern [^$] and pass it to ereg above. So if the input includes a $ the ereg should return false and the processing shouldn't take place. Well the thing is for $pattern = '[^$]' it doesn't work. Input including '$' is still passed to the allowed stuff code block. I remember something like $ had to be double escaped like \\$
